I got my issue of Juiced.GS last week and was surprised to find a blue 3.5"
floppy disk in the envelope too! It's a game for the Apple IIgs, and the
magazine talks about it. Has anyone played this game yet?
I don't have my Apple IIgs set up right now, but I should bring it out so I
can play this game.

Is it complete now? I thought the original prototype was playable but not finished.

Happy New Year!
Les passagers du vent (Passengers on the wind) now:
- is finished, you can fully play and discover the missing last picture,
- uses the gfx from the Amiga version, more colors than the original Thomson gfx,
- allows multiple load/save games, whereas the original was limited to one,
- is multilingual, five languages when there were five different versions when it was really released,
- plays a great MIDI Synth music, when the original music was using Note Synthesizer.
In terms of gameplay, the game is the same, but you can finish it (before playing episode 2 ;-))
Enjoy!

How sad! :-(
Well this morning I played it. I made a Disk Copy image of the disk using an
SE/30, then copied the image to a Mac with a Sweet16 emulator to play.
I read the manual too. What an exciting story! And so French. But I need to
read volume 1 of the comic. Anyone know where I can find this? I will not
spend the rest of my days in prison.
